Research

I am trained as an Existentialist and Positive Psychotherapist.  My research comprises four main areas including multiculturalism/diversity, existentialism, climate change impacts on mental health and positive psychotherapy. Also, I am certified as a Conflict Analysis and Resolution Specialist and Equal Employment Opportunity Specialist. Academically, I enjoy writing and presenting research. I also enjoy student development and helping students meet their full academic potential. On a personal note, I really enjoy traveling, fitness and creative writing. My present focus is the impacts of climate change on mental health and building international relationships in counseling and therapy for my students.
